"The Tussler - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack" is the first album by Motorpsycho & Friends, released in 1994. The album was the soundtrack to a fictional Spaghetti Western by non-existent director Theo Buhara. Its Country Rock sound marked a drastic departure from the earlier Motorpsycho records, which were hard-rocking.

Originally released only on CD in 1994 in two very limited editions, it was re-released in 1996 as a double 10" vinyl, after the band, now calling themselves The International Tussler Society, got together again to record some new material in (supposedly) late summer 1995. From these sessions, four songs were included as bonus tracks on the vinyl reissue.

After a long hiatus, the I.T.S. regrouped in 2002 to play some gigs and decided to remaster the original album, which had become a sought-after rarity in the Motorpsycho catalogue. It was finally released in 2003 in its definitive form including all songs from the 1995 sessions.

*"A Memory" was originally recorded around 1990, and was intended for their first demo, "Maiden Voyage". The song was also re-arranged for this release.
*The original, punk-rock version of "Queen Chinee" was included on "Maiden Voyage".
*"Theme from The Tussler", "The Tussler (slight return)" and "Sonnyboy Gaybar" are new songs written specifically for the album.
*"Illinois" was another song first intended for Motorpsycho, but it "slipped through the cracks and became a Tussler song" (B. Sæther).
*"Polka with the Devil" was the first song that was written exclusively for The International Tussler Society. According to Bent Sæther, it "lifted the whole experience to a slightly more ambitious level".
